food IS a theme park
We’re inching closer to the opening of a brand-new ride in Disney World!
View from the top of the drop!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is set to open on June 28th, 2024, and we are pumped! We’ve already had the chance to ride thanks to some Cast Member and media previews, but if you’re an Annual Passholder, you’ll get the opportunity to hop on the ride a little early as well. Annual Passholder previews kick off this week, and Disney is getting prepped!
The construction walls are FINALLY down in EPCOT!
Mickey & Friends
After several years, the entire park is once again open, and we’ve got new spots to explore! Disney just officially opened CommuniCore Plaza and CommuniCore Hall in World Celebration, and we were there to check them out on opening day. But one thing we thought was really fun about this new space? There are SO many hidden details and nods to old EPCOT.
I go to Disney World multiple times a week, and I’ve become pretty darn good at packing a park bag!
Cinderella Castle
I get quite a bit of practice loading up different bags with my theme park essentials, and I’ve tried a variety of options — from fanny packs to large backpacks to purses. However, the one that seems to stick and that I use the most of all is a Loungefly backpack…but I have a love/hate relationship with it!
Here at DFB, we’re constantly on the lookout for important news to report in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle
Whether that’s something new like a piece of merchandise or a snack, an important update like a Genie+ change, or a temporary problem like a ride closure, there’s actually a LOT that happens in the parks and resorts on a daily basis. And our in-park reporters are often seen dashing all over the place to get answers to the most pressing questions!
Disney’s newest theme park land is officially open!
Let’s go to Fantasy Springs!
Fantasy Springs has finally opened in Tokyo DisneySea, and we were there for the big occasion! A few weeks ahead of time, we got to tour the new land and check out the rides and food during a media event, but then we went BACK for the grand opening. And what surprised us most? Probably the crowds!
Yeah, yeah, we know it’s not even officially summer yet, but we’re already pumped about Halloween in Disney World!
Halloween decorations
For 2024, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) is returning to Magic Kingdom and we’re going to have a BLAST with trick-or-treating, specialty entertainment, rare character meets, and low wait times for rides. And if you’re planning a trip to the Halloween party this year, then today may be an important day for you!
Trust us, you’re not going to go hungry if you’re searching for delicious snacks in Disney World.
Cinderella Castle in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom
Each of the parks and resorts has its own variety of specialty treats on top of the common, more iconic Disney snacks. And if you’re heading to Magic Kingdom, you’ll likely encounter some of Disney’s most famous eats! But even with a long list of popular snacks to choose from, the park is often adding new options, and this week we spotted a new one at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe.
Let me tell you a little secret about Disney World food…Animal Kingdom has some of the best!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
This park often gets overlooked because of the plethora of iconic snacks at Magic Kingdom and the international treats at EPCOT, but Animal Kingdom has some absolute BANGERS. There are so many snack stands throughout the park with eats that we keep coming back for again and again, so when one of those spots introduced a new offering, you know I had to stop by and try it!
June is a BIG month for Disney World, with several new additions!
EPCOT
Not only are we getting the opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom, but we’re also going to FINALLY have all the construction walls down in EPCOT! CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza (the last parts of the EPCOT transformation) are set to open officially on June 10th. And ahead of that day, some construction walls have already come down!
It’s no secret that it gets HOT and humid in Florida in the summer!
A sunny day in Hollywood Studios!
That means that for people visiting Disney World in the summer, you have to be strategic about keeping cool and staying hydrated. Lots of breaks, plenty of water, and of course, sometimes we need a little extra help from special gadgets! In the past, we’ve tried cooling towels and hand fans to chill out, but recently, I tried a VIRAL neck fan in the parks…and it was a disaster.
